Carlsbad™ Dark Room™ Dome Tent

I got a Coleman Carlsbad darkroom 8 person tent for like $125. It's a discontinued model so it's cheap, has a huge vestibule, and stays cool in the heat. For a budget tent I'm super happy with it! Honestly I'd probably get the 6 person version for just two people because the eight is huge.

I have the Coleman Carlsbad 4 person black out tent. It has a porch with a drain screen built into the floor. I absolutely love that tent, can't go wrong with Coleman.

I have the 8p Carlsbad (darkroom). Got it on sale for $95! So far, I love it!

Yes, my Carlsbad had a white strip on the bottom and when you tear it off, the bag expands quite a bit.

Yes! I have this tent too and love it. Plenty of space without being too big and quick set up.

I have the Coleman Carlsbad 6 person tent. The price has come back down recently. Now's a good time to jump on it. It was $100 more for most of this year. https://preview.redd.it/jbcr6dvto87g1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d1cb4b3fc2b23803671ff270b159d8f71cb5127

Check out the coleman carlsbad dark room. If they aren't dark enough, get a tarp and string it up around nearby trees over the top of it. When my daughter was young, we took her camping and found that a white noise generator got her through the night, so it's something to consider.

I have the Coleman Montana and the Coleman Carlsbad. Love the Montana, but the footprint is huge. We don't camp a ton, but this is our most-used tent and is plenty spacious for our family of 4. I hate the Carlsbad. Ours is only 4p, so idk if the 8p is taller, but I can't stand up in it. But the *worst* feature is the vestibule. The zippers come together at the ground in the middle. There's nothing holding it taut, so you can't unzip it one handed *and* it's on the ground. It's extremely frustrating if you're carrying anything. Plus, there are large holes on the sides of the vestibule for cords or whatever, so you'll get plenty of bugs in there.

I’m currently sitting in a tent similar to the first one (Coleman Carlsbad Dark Room with Screened Porch). Personally, we love it! We also have a Big Agnes Big House 4 which we love too and is of higher quality than the Coleman, but with little kids, having the blackout feature is really nice. Happy to answer any questions!

We’ve had our darkroom 6p for 4 years and it’s still going strong!

I’ve used a 6P Darkroom year round, including in/on snow, including an 8” overnight drop. I do use a cot and either alone or with 1 other person, also on a cot.
